I think Waco might make an excellent Mecca. The right wing, conspiracy theorist, ID loving, christ touting, camo wearing, Janet Reno hating, Lewinsky talkin' wackos would then have to support the faith by association alone. they could become the unwitting fifth column.

The most fitting location that has befallen me so far is the Coliseum in Rome. The Coliseum because of it bowl like structure, which is clearly a throne for HIM when the end of time comes, and Rome because of it being the seat of the birthplace of our most holy dish.

My Noodle! The coliseum IS a colander, and they sound suspiciously similar. The Romans, having no pasta at the time, still found it necessary to build the worlds largest (and if I may be so bold, most effective) colander. To think that they were preparing for the arrival of the FSM! The Prophet Bobby should file a claim to the Coliseum on behalf of the FSM religion.

I propose Holy Kitchens, but open the floor to additional suggestions.

This is a quote from a post I made called "Shakey-nah" - "The last time Shakey made Saucery she told me that The Monster would come soon, and that he would touch me with his noodly appendage; and he has. She said that I should remind the Noodly Ten Millions that the egyptians, the greeks, romans, visigoths and others before and after; kept their household godesses and gods in the cooking area of their homes. The kitchen is a holy place to the Pastafarian, and it is holy to the Monsterist. She also says that pasta and pasta-like staples have been abiding in the soft cupboards of the Blessed Unbelievers, from Day Dot. When the Foul Forces of Global State and Religious Terrormachismo (FFGSRTm) begin to hoard the noodle, the final (gumdrop) battle will be joined."

I think that the most obvious place of worship is the TABLE. It is the place where all members of the faith can break .. noodle. Whether one pays regular penance in the sacred kitchen or only an occasional Talk-like-a-pirate Day appearance at their local Italian Restaurant, they will sit with like-minded and like-stomached people at the table. The Kitchen may be equivalent to the carpenter's cult pulpit (i.e. - a place from which to shout out His Holy Dietary Guidance), but the common scurvy-dog will be seated at the TABLE.
